First Major Exam

The first exam wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to go. Although I would say I would have rather had multiple choice questions rather than short answer. I do like the short answer because we get to answer in our own words and write down everything we feel answers the question. But for some of the questions I didn’t know how I should answer, that it would have been easier if it was multiple choice. Maybe some of the questions could have been worded differently as well. Some of them were hard to tell what was really expected for some questions. I prepared for the exam by looking over the review looking at what I needed to focus on and went through my note reread them as well as used the textbook. I went back to activities that we had to complete and read over them as well as looked over some of the vocabulary that was in the book and not in the notes. I do feel though that maybe I should have started to study a little early in the week and maybe I would have been even more prepared to answer the short answers a little more. If I wouldn’t have studied at all then I know I would have done poorly but I am confident I did not bomb the exam. I did notice that one of my class mates made a study guide which is smart and maybe something that I can try for next time. All an all I feel for the first exam I was prepared and ready and that I did the best I could with what I had, but I know next time to prepare a little more in advance to fully answer all short answer to potential.

  2. Shelby, I think we both should have studied more so don't feel bad. I had a lot going on that week and tried my best to fit this exam review in. I just feel like I had a tone of homework that needed to be done.

  3. I feel the same way about studying more for this exam. the multiple choice I agree as well because I didn't know how to word somethings in my responses.

  4. I agree with you , I would have wanted some multiple choice and also how you said we get to write everything in our own words on the short answer. I too should have also studied a little more earlier .

  5. i agree with you 100%, i could've studied more. also multiple choice would've helped me understand the question better.
